Mike has been playing the guitar since he was 12 years old, and from that first moment his love affair with music and the instrument began. Fresh out of school at the age of 16 he attended the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford and completed a year-long Diploma course.
After finishing the ACM his life as a full time musician began, playing in numerous bands and touring up and down the country playing iconic venues such asThe Shepherds Bush Empire, The Astoria, The Underworld and London’s Jazz Café. He’s also been fortunate enough to support industry legends Paul Weller, Blondie and Katie Melua.
Mike’s session work has led to his working on a variety of projects - from performing with stars such as Ricky Wilson and Diana Vickers, to appearing in many TV shows and adverts. Mike loves being on stage performing, but is equally at home recording in a studio - where he has worked with Alex Von Soos (All Saints, Seal, Atomic Kitten), Mike Horner (The Prodigy, Shakira, Bloc Party), and Mike Chapman (Blondie, Suzi Quatro)
the fender is the clear winner...
true lol

Oooooohhhh daammmmmmm
5:02 The comparison starts here.
Obrigado ✌️
MVP right there
Thanks
Thank you bro )))
Thank u!
I'm deaf so I can't hear the difference. I turned on the captions but no help. I'm voting for the tele because of the looks..... So i'll buy one later for my display.
hahaha.. love it!
to me the strat sounds a bit richer and the tele is more whiney depends on what you want i can imagine the tele being perfect for riffs
You can still hold it and make the faces 👍
You've only proved to me one thing...I need both guitars to be really happy.
+Arctic Gummibear haha this is true.
This is my takeaway. I absolutely adore strats but I can’t live without a tele haha
Then again I'll need a Les Paul as well
@@dazednconfused-r4o and an SG.... and maybe an ES 335 as well
@@argento1111 depending on what I play, I don't need an SG but I do need an ES for sure.
If you look very closely you can see the lighting change through the middle of the screen. Theres not actually two of them.

The tele sounds warmer, and the strat seems to have a brighter high end.
tele seemed to have more bass
TheTechMan exactly, I love the Tele, but at the same time Strat it's awesome
Yeah, the typical Tele sound is "twangy", with a more bass-heavy attack sound, whereas the Strat is typically more "jangly". But in terms of "warmth", there's a bit of a problem with this video and I guess it might have something to do with the audio setup. Now, I might be partial towards the Strat here, but there's actually no "warmer" sound than the Strat's combined neck- and middle-pickup which gives you this lovely, full, overtone-rich ring (which comes across as somewhat thin and too treble-heavy in this video).
I agree with you and I like both.
Exactly why I like the Tele!
I was like man this guy is so high. My video was on .75x and i didnt realize lol
I think the guy on the right is a bit better player than the dude on the left! And he has better hair and we all know that helps!!!
It really does! its where the tone is!
Don’t know about the hair but he does play better! 🤙
I give
Stratocaster: 99%
Telecaster: 99.5%
Telecaster wins!
Stratocaster: Not bad.
No
Si
My ass when judging:
Since there are so many physicists commenting this video, which one of you wants to help me with my homework?
None apparently

Joking man calm down

Kind of compromises the integrity of the comparison if 2 different people are playing, doesnt it?
Boy, these guys are dense LOL

Schizophrenia Wins.
lol
I wish to see the behind the scenes lol
Mad respect for the time and editing that had to go into this video!
So, here's what I've decided: Strat and Tele are both amazing. But, each has it's weaknesses. Tele sings on Bridge Pickup, Strat on Neck. They both have their own sound though, one is not better than the other. Buy both.
I dosagree. Tele is better on the neck, teles are known for being awesome in the neck position.
@@CC-fi3pp Depends on what sound. but yeah, the tele can be better at times on the neck.
But the strat can't be better on the bridge.
@@anonymousguitarist7418 *disagree
you should change the batteries on your clock
+James Holdat Nah :)
LOL
LOL 😆
how can you compare them without original pickups?
That's the real question for me.
asking a stupid man, a simple question like that isn't going to get you a smart answer.
asking a stupid man, a simple question like that isn't going to get you a smart answer.
Exactly what I was about to write... The pickups are the the main component on an electric when it comes to its tone and sound. Sure, there are lots of other things that make a difference too, but if you put the tele pickups into the strat and vice-versa, then they would sound much more like the opposite guitar.
+Harcix Actually, you can't even compare them when they have different pickups if you want to determine the differences between the structural aspects of the two guitars.
I'm totally feeling the Tele. Thanks for explaining the difference!
David Jason Steiner
same
I'm gonna experiment and swap out my tele neck pickup with a strat neck pickup. Gonna try it soon.

They are both very versatile but the telecaster has a fuller tone and twang and sounds more mature in my ears. but that just is a personal opinion.
Teun Westdorp too me the telecaster is the crazy methed out older brother; in your face, lots of attitude, bitey, willing to cut his way through the mix to stand out, and sort of simple.
The strat however is the gentle and sweet little brother who has like 3 soccer scholarships; a bit more reserved, punctual, relaxed, adaptable, a little bit more of a rounded off creamy texture than the tele, and a bit more complicated.
It’s harder to hear the difference between both until you own both and you can sit and play it both on your own rig and setup. Especially when you are so used to playing just one for a week or more then decide to play another, you can really hear the difference then.

Tele more warm, more fat and more organic.
A Tele "twangs", whereas a Strat "quack like a duck!" The Gibson Les Paul "weeps like a woman!" The Strat is more versatile than the Tele due to the three pickup configuration, but the Tele bridge pickup is more powerful. The bridge pickup, with the metal plate underneath gives it its signature sound, which the Strat does not have, but the Strat has three pickups and the "out of phase" sound of two blended together which gives the Strat its signature sound, the "quack." Fender guitars are more clear than the Gibsons and cut through the sound of a band, making them a better choice for a lead guitarist. A lot depends on which guitar hero you like the most, and what they are playing and what style of music you prefer. If it is country, then the Tele. If it is blues, then the Les Paul. If it is rock, any of the three will be great choices.
+Jamie Jones Thank you for spewing out a Main Street idiom which has been widely since the early 1970's ." During this same era, we determined PRS SE 245...
+Terrance Hill My PRS SE 245 is my favorite, followed by my strat, PRS SE Santana, LP, then my SG. The 245 will never get as clean of a tone as a Fender, and needs a more gain than a Gibson to get the same amount of dirt, but the sustain is beautiful.
+teemusid I have a PRS SE 245 with P-90 pickups..its a beautiful sound that encompasses rock and Jazz vibes...The sound harkens back to the early rock vibes played by Chuck Berry and Alvin Lee..These guitars are unique and far less forgiving than the humbuckers...They keep you sharp and demand more skillful techniques...I also have a PRS SE Zach Myres signature semi-hollow body that has deeper, richer tones than a Gibson ES 335 but has more punch with the PRS zebra pickups ...Great additions to a working guitarists arsenal...My Telecaster is a custom made guitar from a luthier -builder in Maine named Lincoln Clapp.. The body is solid Tiger Maple as is the custom neck...the pickups are Seymour Duncan's Lil' 59in the bridge position and Hot Rails in the neck position...The switching is designed to use the standard three-way control found in all Telecasters and the bridge is a Mastery M-4 design custom made by Mastery Bridges in Minneapolis...
Amen dude!
+Jamie Jones Pickups ... My Strat sounds more like his tele than his strat. The bridge is almost more "twangy".
I think pickups are 70% of the sound, woods and electronics about 25%, then, comes the magic :)
I say I'm a Strat guy but it's mainly for the confort and feeling I get while playing
Shoot, the Telecaster simply sounds "stringyer." It sounds like a guitar! The Stratocaster sounds all wheedle-deedley, like a keyboard.
Answer:
A caster
The strat neck pickup is unbeatable!
so true
Totally agree. However I prefer the tele bridge pickup
The Tele bridge pickup is unbeatable
I liked the strat for lead and the tele for chords. Close though. It's why both are legally required as a guitarist.
Oh and nice video!
+David Morley Thanks David :)
+David Morley My opinion exactly!
think that answers my indecision :P
Can't pick a winner....must keep both.
Honestly, It's really hard to tell the difference in sound between the two in my opinion. I feel like the Tele has a deeper, more warm tone and the strat has a brighter /jangly sound...but its slight to me.
This is a very very well made video, informative and you actually do a really good comparison of the guitars.
cheers buddy appreciate it.
How about a Jazzmaster vs. Jaguar?
Pygmalion - Jazzmaster all the way. No competition. Lol.
Best quote ever - "He who dies with the most guitars wins" Respect!
The Strat is my favourite, love the way it sounds, the way it feels, the way it looks, Teles are ugly and too country sounding for me...which is why I own 3 Teles and one Strat, and play the Teles all the time while I rarely touch the Strat...
+crusherbmx Did you even read what you wrote? It would be wise to proofread before you hit reply.
Karl Krueger Hehe, yeah, I proof read that, that's what I meant to say....irony...point was, I love Strats and used to hate Teles, till I bought one and fell in love with them.
Got me laughing hshshsh
+crusherbmx My Strat feels better and more comfortable to play but my Tele sounds better,that's why I want a Richie Kotzen Fender Telecaster ,it combines the two but I can't afford one just yet.
I have no idea why, but Teles are just more fun to play...and I hate to admit it.
Tele is more straight forward in your face. Strat is more more bubbly and around. I picture teles as straight at ya and strats as floating round sound. Idk, maybe that's me. I dig em both. And I dig teles with 3 pickups
+irockuroll60 You're on the ball! I've got a '65 Tele with three pups, and the bridge was rewound and includes a coil tap. There is all the versatility of a strat, and some great sustain. I love it to death, yet there is still something about a strat which attracts me. Maybe because it only weighs have of my tele?
+Ndlanding I think by doing those mods you've made the guitar much more versatile but taken away the great simplicity and the classic real
Telecaster sound. Seems like you want it to be a Strat, so ... just get one!
A basic Tele with no fooling around is an iconic piece of musical history
and rawness. A Strat is more complicated and more subtle, both in
sound and playability. Both are awesome. You have to work harder to get
what you want from a Fender guitar (as opposed to a Gibson or PRS)
but you get a lot back and it actually makes you a better player. But that's
just me. I like the middle sound of the tele with two pickups together. On a
Strat the middle sound is actually the middle pickup by itself and sounds
quite a bit different. It's the most under appreciated Strat sound but
it's also Clapton's main sound. Tele? Strat? Viva la difference! The thing
that does make a lot of sense with modding any guitar is if it's just a
sweet playing axe and you want it to be your numero uno for that reason.
+larry geetar Hi. When I bought the guitar, back in 1983, it was a real mess, having three or more layers of crap paint on it. The bridge pickup was bust, so I sent to a youngster called Kent Armstrong, who rewound it for me, and on request, added further windings with a coil tap. The previous owner(s) had already made it a 3-pup guitar, and even taken the lipstick cover off of the neck pup, to make it heavier(!), I'd imagine. I have no idea what the middle pup is, but it's also bare. I spent a long time stripping it, rewiring it, etc. because it was just a brilliant guitar, and still is. I had been looking for a Strat, and that's why I bought it (for 75 GBP!). I recently took it to our local, super-respected luthier and he did some work on it, and when he gave it back to me he just sighed, saying it was a gem.Sadly, he died a few weeks later, but the guitar lives on, and I love it for its immense versatility. I use an ancient MXR Micro Amp pedal with it to give it that extra kick (not distortion), and an early 80s Tube Screamer for solos. It weighs much the same as my old '68 Les Paul (= a ton), despite its being ash. The finish I applied to the stripped wood ((linseed oil, polyurethane varnish and turpentine) has lasted extremely well and you can feel all the bumps of the grain. It sounds like a strat or a tele. I love it to death, over 30 years on. So fuck the simplicity! :)
+Ndlanding Not sure what you're talking about "Maybe because it only weighs have of my tele?" My strats have always weighed more than my teles which I assume has something to do with the heavy tremelo blocks which sustain for miles.
I decided to get the best of both worlds with help from Warmoth. Roasted Swamp Ash body in Cherry Sunburst. Tele shape, but Strat body contours. Tele 51 Nocaster Bridge Pickup, but a Cavalier 50s Tiger Strat Neck pickup. It shall be affectionately known is The Strelecaster or “Strelly” if ya like.
This was really well edited! Tele all the way for me, it looks and feel better and the tone is just ever so slightly warmer and more well rounded.
You and your brother should def do like live performances and battle each other! Well played mates!
😂
Thought the thumbnail meant there were twins in on this😂😆
It starts at 4:36
"Let's compare guitars, but one has aftermarket pickups"...sure...sounds objective. Really??
I was thinking the same thing. The Duncan's are gonna be much better pups.
+TopherFM In order to compare, the pickups must be the same. I agree.
+TopherFM I think his point is showing differences, not showing how close they could sound by having the same pickups.
Exactly what I was thinking.
TopherFM Butthurt?

I love the split screen in this comparison video. It really makes you stand out against the rest, New Sub !!
+Steven Dolan Thanks so much Steven :)
Mike Bradley No - thank you !!
People say stuff like "The maple fingerboard gives a glassy twangy light tone" and the Rosewood gives it a "Darker tone" and an Ebony fretboard gives a really dark tone. I think we're being duped into marketing speech here. Funny how the different wood colors also have that same context in their sound hm? "Red = HOT, Blue = COLD". We're not monkeys. We know that wood and the fret board and the gloss or satin finishes used on the neck etc don't add a "Glassy" sound like everyone says about Shiny light colored maple boards... (again, a shiny varnish placed over near white maple wood = reflecti..... IT SOUND GLASSY) haha. From my years of experience, the only thing that makes a difference is your pick and picking style, your pickups, your strings and in some cases your bridge. That old shorseshit about "A Les Paul sounds so fat because of how heavy it is, it's heavy wood to start with, and then they layer after layer varnish over it to make it even heavier to sound fatter"... bollox. A strat with humbuckers can sound identical to a Les Paul. And if the weight is such a factor, why do all the new ranges and 1950's and 60's replica's have almost fuly chambered bodys, but sound the same? It's all in our heads.
The only people to gain from adding a bit of "Texture" to your guitar selection process are people who stand to gain from it. Guitar manufacturers, Websites and stores that sell guitars. people who have really old guitars.. They all try to tell you the wood makes a difference, the string tree color makes a difference.. the weight of the sticker's inside the body with the serial number makes a difference.. .all to try to squeeze every last penny out of you.
I mean, if the wood is such a huge part of an Electromagnetic circuit (like it even could be), why isn't the scratch plate considered vital also? I know why, because they can't charge you 2 grand extra for a fucking flame maple pickguard. So they stick to shitty cheap plastic ones as they know we're not that stupid. And i mean, the pickguard is right under the strings and surrounding the pickups ffs lol
+Anthony Quigley
True dat.
I have had this argument a few times. People are woefully uneducated in science.
These are magnetic pickups. They only pickup the vibration of the string. Not the body of the guitar. The only way in which the wood or other materials can be a factor is in the way that affect the vibration of the string. I will concede that a heavy and rigid material might affect the string vibration slightly, compared to a light and flexible material, by giving it more sustain. (But I am not sure that the human ear would detect it.)
Other than that, I am certain the rest is bullshit.
+Anthony Quigley
That even gets funnier, cause if you would listen carefully, you would notice, that rosewood gives you more scoop and high frequencies, where maple is mainly mid focused. Ebony is bright as hell ;)
In my opinion it does make a difference, though not that much of one. I believe what the strings or bridge are anchored to will change the way the string vibrates, which would give it a different sound.
MassHysteria414
here's a test. get 3 different fenders. play 3 riffs on one of them. then copy and past yourself playing those 3 riffs. so it's just the same 3 riffs you played copied and pasted 2 times ok? Then while you're playing it back, put a picture of a different guitar on the screen the second time your prerecorded sound starts, then stick a pic of the 3rd guitar the 3rd time the same 3 riffs you copy and pasted plays. And ask people which sounds better and why. People will be telling you all KINDS of shit "You can see on the second one, the White maple nexk with that gloss finish gives it a much brighter GLASSIER sound than the other 2, and the 3rd one with the Rosewood neck has a much warmer tone" etc. Honestly, you'll hear all this. Even thouh you'll tell them after "Well actually it's just 3 riffs plays once each. Then copy and pasted. All i changed was the picture of the guitar on each successuve oplaythrough. it's brilliant. People are idiots man.
+Anthony Quigley I don't agree so much about wood having a lot of effect on tone, but I do think the density changes how the guitar sustains and how the vibrations would have constructive or destructive interference with the sound waves. So if the body sound waves flatten the strings from not reflecting the right frequencies then your sound will change. Its science. But like you said "people are idiots" perhaps do some study on it before you claim to be the be all and end all of guitars.

+Dave Kent lol. Made my day. Tele is the way to go
Tele for sound, Strato for look.
exactly my thought
If I'm honest, I love the sound of the tele. I've always been a strat guy, as they say, but I think I really prefer the tele. Of course this makes sense since I live in Tennessee. But anyways--I own a USA ash body strat and it has an amazing sound.... it's really the ideal strat tone imo... but it only ever sounds like a strat. I think tele's are better able to lend themselves to a greater variety of tones. I play live almost every weekend with my strat and I love it, but the big drawback: the bridge pickup is too bright to mesh with the neck pickup. This means that if I set my pedals/amp (or kemper in most cases since this is the digital age) to sound good with the neck, then the bridge is waaaaaay too bright. Alternatively, if I set things up to go with the bridge then the neck is too muddy. This is the on going strat problem. What I end up doing is basically only using the neck and middle pickups, and almost never the bridge. But that neck pickup... ohhh man!
For reference, my board is as follows: strat --> wah pedal (morley maverick mini wah) --> tuner --> compressor (keeley 4 knob) --> overdrive 1 (bd-2 blues driver) --> overdrive 2 (ts 808) --> digital delay 1 (boss dd3 for slap back or sometimes i switch it with a chorus if needed, or 3rd overdrive) --> modeler pedal (line 6 m5) --> reverb (boss rv5) --> 65 princeton reissue 12 watt amp
Great too clearly see the difference between the two, thanks for the video, Mike! :)
+Daniel Lay Yeah, one is blue and the other is not.
+ouncy It's obviously white and gold. Get your eyes checked
+TK Kim grey?
! Hilarious!
+Kingpin Suited That LOL! Hilarious was going out to you because clearly, white and gold...how anybody saw anything else is beyond me...
He deserves a like just for the facial expressions while he played.
They both sound awesome, with the strat having the in-between positions and the trem. As I already own a Les Paul I'm going for the slightly brighter tone of the Strat!
I guess this is what we would call.... PLAYING WITH YOURSELF hehe

Dude, you sound just like Ali-G.
Booyakasha!
Koubiak yea thats right 😂
3 years late however, the tele sounds more refined due to the strat being a bit too tinnie, its the ceramic pups.
Fender start .. if Its good enouf for Jimi then its good for Me ! !
- Old people on the internet
Always have preferred the feel and comfort of a strat, tele too heavy for me for a long set but it does suit rhythm guitar more with warmer mids but doesn't come close to the soul piercing tones of a strat for lead, really depends on the player and style of music, I also think the strat has a more pronounced percussion element to it and finally I just prefer the look of a strat so you know where my vote goes! Great vid
+PlayAlongTracks My Tele is very light, I hear you there about the strat, there a thing of beauty! :)
I like the looks of the tele and the sound of the strat. please help because I'm about to get a new guitar
Buy a tele then change the pickups :)
I have a tele
JOHNN Velo what kind of pickups?
Wilde Keystones or the Twisted Tele :)
thanks
The strat bodyshape is much more comfortable and the strat is more versatile. So get the strat.
To me when it comes to single coils and these two guitars, the telecaster has the better sounding bridge pickup. More bite, it cuts through better, easy to dial in, and it has some attitude.
The neck pickup though is where the strat beats the tele. I have heard great tele neck pups but the strat neck pup has more clarity, more spank, more character, and imo it is a little more dynamic.
Tele a bit creamier. Strat a bit janglier, ringing, and woody. Everyone's favorite solo done on Tele, "Stairway to Heaven."
Don't call yourself "everyone"...
@@robhendrikx2198 Don't call yourself Hendrix.
Although the beginning rhythms were almost the same, at 8:00 I decided that I like the Telecaster much better!
Need to have both. It´s normal and usual, for the guitarist ....
Strat all day for the sound, but the Tele looks so much cooler.
Teles sound waaay better
Mine's both
Tele sounds all day and better, brighter and looks so much cooler
I'm opposite
This is honestly the main reason I'm gonna get a Tele style guitar- I love the look of it 😂
You really brought out the differences. I personally don't like the lead sounds of the Strat. It's too tubular for my taste. I love the cleanness and twang of the Tele. Anyway, thanks for the demo. Cheers.
Cheers buddy, appreciate it.
"He who dies with the most guitars, wins" - Amazing!
MAN!! WHY DIDN‘T YOU SWITCHED GUTARS?
WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEE THE STRAT GUY PLAYING THE TELE.
1. Brilliant video!!!. 2.That Tele tone sends chills down my spine.
My initial thoughts were: Tele better for rhythm, Strat better for lead. You'd want the Tele for its ability to kind of mesh the overall sound together, but the Strat seems to cut through better, especially in those really high end lead parts. Both work well together I think.
The TELE !!! ,,,,but only on a protest photo finish .
It’s nice to see twins getting along and complementing each other in a day in age when everyone is tearing into each other. I like THE TELE
My favourite is Tele, I got one that my father bought back in the early 90's and it's just an awesome lovely guitar. I also like Strats a lot, I want to buy one. Les Pauls are cool but gibson make them wrong and they have trouble keeping tuned
+ruidos en el desván Yes some Les Paul can be a bit temperamental.
+ruidos en el desván Les pauls are the best for classic rock or dark vibe bues, but for have a good guitar you have to spend more than 1500 euro. I have a signature T les paul and if you keep playing it, it stays tuned for almost a 5 days
+matteo brunella I've a different opinion
+ruidos en el desván yeha no problem, for me They are great guitars, led zeppelin would never have existed whithout Les Paul ahahahhahahaha
+matteo brunella well that's a stupid fucking argument since Jimmy didnt play a Les Paul at all on the first lp
Well done. I think this is the best comparison video I've seen on any two guitars of any brand or type. This one took some work to produce. Thank you.
Thank you Brian :)
The scale of the guitar has something to do with the sound of the guitar as well. The bridge has a lot to do also.
Electronics have probably the biggest impact in tone but in my experience my Telecaster with humbuckers sounds just different to my Les Paul with humbuckers.
Played acoustically my les Paul has more sustain than my Tele and a lot more than my Strat; but it has a more dampened attack and the Fenders are louder as well.
You can really hear the "twangy" sound of the Tele even unplugged, I don't know if it's down to the bridge. Same with the Tele of my bandmate. It's the louder of the three, it's also the biggest. Les Paul is the smallest but the heaviest.
The Strat with all those contours, routings...etc seems to have it's sustain affected. But I recall having a mexican Strat with a hughe neck and frets that had noticiably more sustain.
You can't compare 2 Strats with different fretboard woods, even if they are the same model. A milimeter in the height of the pick ups makes a biggest difference than the wood of the fretboard.
Heck, 2 units of the exact same guitar model will sound and feel different even unplugged Ant with the action ser exactly the same.
I believe, though, the biggest amount of matterial or mass a guitar has, the bigger the sustain and volume. Just attach a guitar to a table and check it yourself.
I don't buy that nitro allows more sustain or resonance to a guitar, not in my experience. It just looks nicer.
Once again, attach a heavy piece of really hard plastic to your guitar and see how it sounds louder and sustains longer.
Myth busted, voilá.
Great vid. A lot of time and effort went into creating this split screen thing by the look of it. Good work!
Thank you Mathieu.
Both gorgeous examples. I have the cream Tele with white pick guard.
I have to admit the TELE sounded better to my ear, even though it's only got BBC 1 - 2 & ITV!
The Strat is such a versatile guitar with its 5 positions. If you have a Strat and a Les Paul, I think you have it covered.
I agree Damien, plz don't kill me ☹
Je le pense aussi j ai entant que débutant une les Paul 100 épiphone et une yamaha pacifica 112 j . Et je suis comblé ....
Gosh i wish i could have a strat with strat neck and middle, and a tele bridge pickup, and pull off tele tones
What models are the strat and tele? Did Fender use the nitro finish on anything else than the highway one in 2010? I think to be really fair you need to comp the same model (e.g. American Standard v American Standard - stock, no mods). In the end though you cannot go wrong with either. Thanks for taking to time to put this together. I liked it and was well done.
Hi friend. I was looking for a Telecaster in Amazon, but what is it exactly? There are many prices.
It's hard to argue with a strat neck pickup... probably the best clean tone of all time
lets face it, the tele looks cooler...but when it comes down it, its really not about looks. the strat neck pickup is THE original classic guitar sound.
But the tele sounds so much better. The strat sounds boring and basic too me.
If I could just get a tele bridge tone and the other 4 tones of a strat, in a tele body.
Zach Ortiz I want this but also contoured like a Strat
8:37 when he did the intro for little wing
I have that same strat from 1999, but mine has rosewood fretboard (and a different pickguard, I think). Fender used that specific colour in 1999 only, if I'm not mistaken. It's beautiful!
Oooh didn't know that.
I think the cw is called Tidepool and they released it on new Player series
a thinking man has both! i love both but it seems my strat neck is more playable, maybe the rosewood board, but she is better suited to my fingers.
i dont hear a difference. should I visit a doctor?
Yes
no.
I hear a difference.
just change your soundsystem...
johnflea use headphones
I'm always so distracted by trying to figure out how Mike shot and timed his videos that I forget to listen to the guitars.
Both brothers play really well. Although their styles are vastly different. 🤔
Is that fender MIM classic '50s telecaster?
Tele and strat owner here. My strat is complex in design and feel which makes it versatile in styles it can play and tones it can achieve (texas special pickups make sweet love in the 4th position.) My tele's beauty is in it's simplicity and really makes me work for sounds I want to achieve and forces me to make my playing complex due to it's simplicity.
Here you have the proof from Fender themselves that a strat made out of cardboard sound exact the same as one made out of wood.
Therefore ,wood type having influence on the tone once a el guitar is amplified is busted by themsleves!
The pickups, strings, electric circuit etc take over once a el guitar is amplified so you can't here the acoustic sound anymore.

+André Orsel Hear what your saying buddy, but where does cardboard come from.. trees.. where does wood come from.. Trees.
+Mike Bradley
Come on! your're not serious, are you?
Its true though.
+Mike Bradley
i suggest you do some tests like i did toherher with some other guitarplayers.
Take a few identical guitars but with different woods for body and neck. So, pickups, electrics, strings, bridge material etc.. must be the same.
Now record the same chords or melody lines with every guitar on different tracks.
Play them back and one switches between the tracks while the others are listening. We were with 4 guitarplayers, and no one of us could hear any difference and tell which guitar was on which track afterwards.
That confinced all of us.
There is a study on the internet (i will try to find it) where students made a project of this.
Here the outcome was the same. they also did measurements which showed that the tonal spectrum was the same with each guitar.
The only thing the wood could influence is probably the sustain.
Again, this is when the guitar is amplified loud enough so you cannot here the acoustic sound anymore, which is almost alwys the case.
Another simple test you can do is the following:
Take your guitar and play it not amplified. Now put the headstock against a wooden table ore something and you hear how the wood of the guitar transmits to the table and makes the guitar sound louder and fuller.
Now do the same thing but with the guitar amplified loud enough you cannot here it's acoustic sound anymore. Now there is no difference in volume or sound anymore which proofs that the effects of the wood is eliminated and taken over by the pickups, electrics etc....
+André Orsel I still believe the sound comes from how you actually play the instrument.
The strat is a more versatile instrument overall. More pickup options, actually has a trem and a more comfortable design.
A Tele is way more versatile. A Tele has way more different sounds that can cover more genres. A Strat has one sound, but different tones of the same sound.
@@rocafella142 Simply not true. I could blind test a Strat and a Tele, and I bet you could not tell the difference between the two, at least not on the bridge and neck pickup combinations.
I've even got a Strat that can get the bridge and neck 'tele' combination, and you cannot tell the difference in day to day use.
It's all about image and the fact that guitar TH-camrs for years have been saying that "tele's are the most versatile guitar" for probably over a decade now it sort of sinks in and resonates as true. Even when you stop to think about it for two seconds, the whole idea is nonsensical.
No trem + less pickup combos + less comfortable = more versatile?
I think not.
Teles are great guitars, but not as versatile as a guitar with similar pickups with literally more options.
@@alexwr I absolutely can tell the difference between the two. They sound different. Maybe yours sound the same. I own both they sound different. Other people's i hear sounds different. Only time they sound the same is when you add a drummer and a bass player. Then at that point all guitars sound the same and it doesn't really matter what you play.
I never heard a youtuber say a Tele is more versatile. That's my own observation. They are. A strat has the same sound. A Tele changes its sound. A strat has the same 3 pickups and most of its changing involves changing its tone. A Tele had two different pickups and was made to sound like a bass and an electric guitar, it can change its entire sound not just the tone.
And I'm not one of those Tele fan boys. I'm a fan boy of Les Pauls
Great review. The strat was a bit more scooped sounding, lower output, and less immediate attack.
Overall, I liked the tele the best.
Mike What do you think that the squier affinity tele its a reasonable choice ? I'm left handed And it's pretty rare to find good guitars with a fair price. Thanks!
Mike, Thanks for a great informative video. If you have time, please tell me your experience between a Squier Telecaster and the Mex made Stratocaster. I bought the Squier last year and spent nearly two hours setting it up. If I upgrade to the Staratocaster (Mex) would I have to set it up also? (I can't stand string rattle on the 8th fret and upwards.Thanks, Man. James
+ColonelKudzu Your very welcome buddy. I'll add your question to my Q&A video's so keep an eye out :)
In my opinion, Telecaster is more powerful. It has a little bit deeper sound. But the real truth is, you'd have them both, to be quite satisfied....
"I cant even go into that..." Proceeds to GO INTO THAT... SMDH
Tele generally richer, fuller.
The guy on the right is a better player than the guy on the left.
They're the same guy...
Sam O'Keeffe thanks sherlock
@@samokeeffe6414 r/woosh
Sam O'Keeffe how have you survived this long on the internet, let alone survived in the modern world?
I bet that 9/10 people wouldn't be able to identify the difference with their eyes closed. Give them a few beers at a live show, add a little distortion, add drums, bass, keys, etc to the mix, and I really don't think it makes much of a difference. I bet that most guitarists would probably disagree because most who I know are obsessed with every little difference in their gear, have a tele for one song, insist on a start for the other song, whatever. Awesome demonstration and great playing!
Sir could you please confirm me that tele doesn't have a tremolo arm right? so how can i get the effect of tremolo in a tele?
Bend the neck, or get a tremolo pedal.
Definitely the Tele for me. I'm sold. I'm gonna get one.
